if it is thin or can be drunk through a straw (do not use straws) then it is okay. I can have cream of wheat thin enough to go thru a straw. and applesauce. it did not produce any side affects. so far so good of course only 3 or 4 bites is all one can handle. after two weeks we can eat reg. food

hello. I am in the same boat as you. Had banding on Friday no hunger pains but gas left of the big incision is something else. Hardest part is getting in and out of the bed.... OUCH! Stayed on liquids all day Sat. This morning introducing some thin cream of wheat. Baby spoon and all. Wishing you a good day and less gas. I figure the next three days will be annoying with gas pains. Walk Walk Walk. God Belss. ~jan

congrats.... You are an inspiration to me who gets banded next month.

hello... I am fine. I got approved in 3 working days and a date scheduled 2 days later. My date is JULY 25 I cannot wait. how are you doing?

Congrats! I feel your excitement.

Good luck on your surgery too. I am in Tyler TX and ready to turn mine in to BCBS this week. Hopefully they are ready to approve. My friend was approved just last week. Took her one week. I have my fingers crossed.

hey good luck on your surgery this week. SOON.... ! I'm praying for you to go through it with ease. I, too, have BCBS here in TX.. I am in Tyler. I am ready this week to send all my STUFF in with hopes of having surgery before the end of June. I will be following you. jalexamoore

hello. I know how you feel. I still have another month before I get submitted to the insurance company. I started this journey on Dec. 26,'07 so I am READY. I have dropped 24 pounds on the pre-op eating plan and have cut portions drastically and eating more fruits and veggies. less breads and high carbs and fried stuff. I am getting anxious about the whole process. Good luck and keep us posted. Have a wonderful day. jan

Hello fellow Texans..... I am in Tyler. Just registered here. I go Dec. 26 for my orientation. I'd really like to have this done on Spring Break. Think I could get back to teaching in one week? I really think I can. I am excited about this new adventure. MERRY CHRISTMAS to Y'all...
